The top!
One last "summit" today, an unscheduled trip to Guagua Pichincha, the easier counterpart to Rucu. Guagua is an active volcano that last erupted in 1999. This hike had some great rock climbing above 15,000' and a few welcome flat parts on trail. A happy, easy climb. It was led by "Rafa"- Rafael Caceres, who summited Everest last year with our guide Ossy.
We enjoyed lunch at the top that Rumiloma sent with us before the light rain started.
